Be an intelligent investor

Investing is more of a common sense than intelligence. An investor with high IQ and low EQ is not intelligent at all. In the contrary world on intelligence is considered as a measured value of IQ, but in the investing world it plays little role. Sure a person with high IQ can calculate the risk and rewards, the sectorial cage growth or even can find his own formula to find multibagger. But if he is fragile on patience and discipline, he won't be the intelligent investor. Investing is a fun process until we see a major loss. When confronted with such situations, we forget everything and the primitive brain of flight or fight gets activated. So most investors sell their holding along with the masses instead of buying more at the discounted price. They know the market is gonna revive sooner and stronger, but they won't listen to their logical mind and keep their selling activity on. Here the fear surmounts every knowledge and experience. So it is important to be an intelligent investor with little common sense and more patience.

Matrix prison

Getting out of the matrix is an easy part. All you have to do is analyse the person who has opposite views than yours and try to learn from them as much as you can. What is the hardest part is to realise that you are in a matrix. This matrix is a lot more similar to a prison. The difference is that you know you are in a prison when you are in a prison, but you don't even know there exist a matrix when you are in a matrix. One is visible and the other is not. The only way to realise your position is to ask questions about everything everytime and never stop the process until you get the answer that satisfies you.

The path of experience

Genuine conviction is invariably born from firsthand experience. This is because, innately, our belief systems are wired to accept anything that can be perceived through our sensory experiences, a trait that evolved during our ancestral hunting epochs. Once we acquire such direct experiences, no further evidence is required to cement our belief. These experiences thus become the compass by which we navigate our existence. Hence, the optimum method of learning is through experimentation and introspection, for knowledge acquired in this manner becomes deeply embedded within our psyche, imparting indispensable lessons for personal development and growth. Predominantly, our learning derives from the direct  experiences of others who possess a profound understanding and apply this wisdom to enhance their lives. Regrettably, we often fail to leverage this wealth of knowledge to our own advantage.

Necessity of breaks

Occasionally, achieving concentration can prove to be a formidable challenge. This difficulty may stem from an array of factors, and notably, the subject matter at hand significantly influences this endeavor. Engaging with material where one possesses foundational knowledge often facilitates a smoother focus. In such instances, allowing the mind some respite to unwind and decompress can be exceedingly beneficial. The necessary duration of this interlude varies significantly among individuals, yet the utility of such breaks is undeniable. Empirical evidence suggests that intervals of relaxation interspersed with periods of effortful concentration can greatly enhance learning efficiency, surpassing the outcomes of attempting to maintain uninterrupted focus amidst a milieu of distraction.

Testing the strategy

When it came comes to trading we see people using different strategies. There is no fixed strategy for success. People find their agreed will at one thing which may or may not suit us. So the real challenge is not to master the strategy but to find it. We may even tried multiple strategies multiple times. Even now that confusion pops. People choose strategy not based on how much winning percentage it has, but does it resonate with their style. Even people trading just based on their will can make more money and can have a great winning percentage than who tried thousands of them. Even after choosing a strategy, people find it difficult to take trades based. Because they are not sure about whether it is what they actually need. If we have a strategy which we think might suits us, we have to test it and back test it. People jumping from one to another never have traded multiple timed based on that. Not a single strategy could be understood within days or weeks, it takes months like the ...

When things slips today

 Weeks before the actual commencement feels like a heavy load. The reason is the amount of stuff that is to be completed. It takes a lot of energy and time. Whenever we confront such a situation, we tend to do two things, either make a plan or leave the plan. The former is a lot better. Because with the least amount of time and inaccurate decisive situation, we might have come to the conclusion which is more precise than the latter. Speaking of it making a plan is really daunting. Here the plan itself reveals the work and effort that need to be put in. So some people finish as per their will finishing the desired portions within time. But the others keep it on procrastination. They are resting because they have done a mountain task of structuring and planning. The rest of the day goes for entertainment. As soon as they find their former plan is no longer valid, they make another with the same willpower and attitude. This happens multiple times finally reaching the exact date of com...
